"It's August 8, 2008 and I'm drinking at the Super 8. Tomorrow is a workday,
but tonight is all mine"

 

 

New Vintage Theatre is pleased to announce their first production, Super 8,
will be at The Vibrant Vine Winery for two shows on Saturday, January 26 at

The event for will also be a launch for the first New Vintage Theatre
season.  Super 8 is an acclaimed new play by Mark C. Hopkins and Charles
Netto from Calgary.  Directed by Bonnie Gratz, Super 8 features local actor
and Go! Okanagan anchor Doug Brown and the award winning actress Dorothy
Dalba. The two play unusual strangers who meet in a Super 8 Motel bar on
August 8, 2008 and the funny, bittersweet events that unfold.  

 

The play had sold out runs at Lunchbox Theatre in Calgary and at The
Edmonton International Fringe Festival this summer, garnering rave reviews,
and recently packed Pulp Fiction Coffeehouse for a Nov.20 reading by New
Vintage. The production is a BC premiere. 

 

"Tony Lewis of The Vibrant Vine is known for fantastic wine, but also for
his outstanding commitment to the arts and community in Kelowna.  When he
heard of the success of our reading of Super 8 he jumped right on board to
offer us the opportunity to launch our season with this exciting sneak peek
engagement." says Artistic Director Bonnie Gratz
